A system for diagnosing and monitoring outcomes of atrial fibrillation for remote
patient care is presented. A database stores monitoring sets containing recorded
measures relating to patient information recorded on a substantially continuous
basis. A server retrieving and processing a plurality of the monitoring sets includes
a comparison module receiving a diagnosis of atrial fibrillation and determining
patient status changes in response to the atrial fibrillation diagnosis by comparing
periodically recorded measures from each of the monitoring sets to other recorded
measures from another of the monitoring sets with both recorded measures relating
to a same type of patient information; and an analysis module evaluating on a periodic
basis each patient status change for an absence, an onset, a progression, a regression,
and a status quo of atrial fibrillation against a predetermined indicator threshold
corresponding to the same type of patient information as the recorded measures
which were compared.
